Afghanistan’s Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR), UNHCR and its partners facilitated the voluntary return operation and provided initial reintegration support. Legal framework The Presidential Decree on the Dignified Return of Refugees, issued in June 2002, serves as the main legal framework to ensure that the basic rights of returnees are recognised and that the voluntary character of return is respected. Steps toward compliance with this Decree and support to the Afghan Government to promote protection through monitoring of returnees’ basic rights were initiated in accordance with the provisions of the Bonn Agreement (Governance Section). Tripartite agreements on voluntary repatriation were negotiated with neighbouring countries hosting large communities of Afghan citizens, in particular Iran and Pakistan. A Joint Agreement was signed in April 2002 with the Islamic Republic of Iran and provided the legal framework for the voluntary return of more than 300,000 persons until March 2003. According to the Iranian interpretation of the agreement, only the 2.3 million registered Afghans living in Iran were covered by the agreement and consequently around 40,000 non-registered Afghan citizens were deported in 2002. Despite the 1.5 million Afghans who returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan, negotiations on a tripartite agreement only bore fruit in early 2003. Other Tripartite Agreements were concluded in the fall of 2002 and spring of 2003 with non-neighbouring countries hosting Afghan citizens such as France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Protection outreach and network UNHCR and its partners, which include government and non-government bodies and United Nations agencies, established a returnee monitoring network in June 2002, which covered most provinces of Afghanistan. This extensive and geographically broad network was part of an overall effort to support the newly created government structures in ensuring the protection of returnees and IDPs, and their socio-economic reintegration into communities of their choice. First steps to build confidence were taken through regular meetings with local authorities and community leaders in returnee areas. In some locations, this led to the establishment of good relations with authorities and resulted in some direct and indirect interventions. Some 4,000 missions to returnee villages were conducted to interview local leaders and both male and female groups and individuals to obtain a better understanding of their 3 current problems, to direct appropriate programme interventions, and, in cases of violations, to intervene on their behalf. This first returnee monitoring report is a summary of the findings of these monitoring missions. It highlights the challenges faced by returnees to Afghanistan and provides basic information on conditions in places of origin for refugees and IDPs (as potential returnees) and for relevant authorities in countries of asylum. General conclusions Reasons for return to Afghanistan were often cited as the improved social, economic, security and human rights conditions. The fundamental change in the political and security environment provided opportunities not seen for the past 23 years. The presence of International Security Assistance Force and many international actors in Kabul provided a level of security and economic opportunity that contributed to relative stability in the capital. This factor partly accounts for the high level of return to the greater Kabul area (46 per cent of the total). However, many refugees and IDPs actually originated from these areas. The majority of returnees were families returning to their places of origin, having left Afghanistan during the Taliban period (61 per cent). A further 27 per cent had fled during the Soviet occupation and the Najibullah regime (1980-1992); 6 per cent left during the Mujahedin period (1992 – 1996); 4 per cent had fled before 1980 and 2 per cent in early 2002. Overall, returnees have been able to return to their communities of origin and have faced no discrimination on the basis of their returnee status. Post-conflict recovery presents challenges that are shared equally by returnees and settled members of communities. Nevertheless, a number of critical concerns were identified and are detailed below. Monitoring at border crossing points, encashment and distribution centers were some of the tools used to assess the dynamics of return and the motivations of those returning voluntarily, as the returnees entered Afghanistan. The vast majority of deportees from Pakistan and Iran were single men arrested for lack of valid documentation or illegal entry, but whole families who had been actually resident in the countries of asylum were also deported, as well as a limited number of individuals holding documentation. Concerns about deportation cases were continuously raised with authorities in Pakistan and Iran. Key concerns Slow economic development and lack of job opportunities: Although of common to all Afghans, these concerns contribute to the risk of renewed displacement, reverse movements and unsustainable return. Lack of security: This results from the absence of rule of law and the limited outreach of the central authority. Tribal and traditional dispute settlement mechanisms have not been able to function adequately where local “commanderism” still prevails. Provincial institutions are still fragile and are currently unable to provide effective administrative and judicial structures. The delay in the demobilization and disarmament process has perpetuated the presence and influence of local commanders and armed elements, who commit acts of extortion, harassment, arbitrary and private detention, forcible military 4 recruitment, sexual abuse and kidnapping against civilians. Several surveys of Afghans in Pakistan indicate that inadequate security is the most significant deterrent to return. Problems with repossession of land and property: A key impediment to return has been the non-restitution of land and property. Evidenced in almost every province, this is often symptomatic of control by illegal armed elements of land and water resources. Mechanisms for dispute settlement are weakened by external pressures which prevent fair and objective justice. Limited access to water due to drought or illegal control by armed groups, and to social services such as education and health: Some returnees have complained specifically about the lack and poor standards of maternity services. Gender- and child-related concerns: The widespread absence of livelihood security has caused or may cause new displacement of men and adolescents, leaving women and children susceptible to physical abuse and social vulnerability. Respect for human rights and dignity are undermined in specific locations by the harassment of men, sexual and gender-based violence against women, and forcible recruitment of adolescents by both legal and illegal armed groups. These acts undermine national policies on security, demobilization, and advancement of women. In the same vein there is evidence of multiple and widespread gender-based discrimination against women and girls, including child- marriage and, in some locations, exclusion from education. While unnecessary restrictions on the realization of women’s human rights are inconsistent with current national policies and the aspirations of many female returnees, the link between these facts and the statistics on maternal and infant mortality is a matter of grave concern which undermines national development. Key strategies in 2002 In order to meet the challenges confronting returning populations, UNHCR adopted the following strategies to protect their rights and consolidate their reintegration: Capacity-building of authorities: UNHCR has established linkages at provincial, district and village levels as a valuable mechanism for the identification of and to respond to returnee concerns. UNHCR’s mandate as well as the mandate of the MoRR, the relevant national decrees, and national protection structures have provided a framework for joint action. Information-sharing and partnerships: UNHCR has worked to enhance access to information for

    2015-09-03 Fråga-svar Afghanistan. Resväg mellan Kabul och Ghazni Fråga - Går det flyg mellan Kabul och Ghazni? - Är resvägen mellan Kabul och Ghazni säker för hazarer? - Finns det några organisationer i landet som kan bistå andra med t.ex. eskort för att göra resan säker? - Hur kan underåriga ta sig fram? Svar Nedan följer en sammanställning av information från olika källor. Sammanställningen gör inte anspråk på att vara uttömmande. Refererade dokument bör alltid läsas i sitt sammanhang. Vad gäller säkra resvägar så kan läget snabbt förändras. Vad som gällde då nedanstående dokument skrevs gäller kanske inte idag! Austalia Refugee Review Tribunal (May 2015): Domen handlar om en hazar från Ghazni som under lång tid levt som flykting i Iran. Underlaget till beslutet beskriver situationen angående resvägar i Afghanistan speciellt i provinsen Ghazni. Se utdrag nedan: 33. DFAT’s 2014 Report statcontains the following in relation to road security in Afghanistan: Insecurity compounds the poor condition of Afghanistan’s limited road network, particularly those roads that pass through areas contested by insurgents. Taliban and criminal elements target the national highway and secondary roads, setting up arbitrary armed checkpoints. Sida 1 av 8 Official ANP and ANA checkpoints designed to secure the road are sometimes operated by poorly-trained officers known to use violence to extort bribes. More broadly, criminals and insurgents on roads target all ethnic groups, sometimes including kidnapping for ransom. It is often difficult to separate criminality (such as extortion) from insurgent activity. Individuals working for, supporting or associated with the Government and the international community are at high risk of violence perpetrated by insurgents on roads in Afghanistan.

  • The a to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance
    The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance 2nd Edition, August 2003 Writer: Shawna Wakefield Editor: Christina Bennett, Kathleen Campbell With special thanks to: Kristen Krayer, Nellika Little, Mir Ahmad Joyenda Cover illustration: Parniyan Design and Printing: The Army Press © 2003 The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU). All rights reserved. Preface This is the second edition of The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance. Our first edition was brought out one year ago at a time of great change in Afghanistan. At that time, coordination mechanisms and aid processes were changing so fast that old hands and new arrivals alike were sometimes overwhelmed by the multiplicity of acronyms and references to structures and entities that had been recently created, abolished or re-named. Eighteen months after the fall of the Taliban and the signing of the Bonn Agreement, there are still rapid new developments, a growing complexity to the reconstruction effort and to planning processes and, of course, new acronyms! Our aim therefore remains to provide a guide to the terms, structures, mechanisms and coordinating bodies critical to the Afghanistan relief and reconstruction effort to help ensure a shared vocabulary and common understanding of the forces at play. We’ve also included maps and a contact directory to make navigating the assistance community easier. This 2nd edition also includes a section called “Resources,” containing information on such things as media organisations, security information, and Afghanistan-related web sites. Another new addition is a guide to the Afghan government. As the objective of so many assistance agencies is to support and strengthen government institutions, we felt that understanding how the Afghan government is structured is important to working in the current environment.

  • 16 September 2010
    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 37, 10 - 16 September 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS The week recorded a further decrease in the overall number of incidents with only the WR recording an increase, while the rest of the regions recording decreased or relatively consistent incident levels. This overall decrease is assessed to be a result of Eid celebrations, which continued for the first three days of the week, as well as AGE’s focus mainly on the elections and related activities and preparation for the offensive on the Election Day. This was manifested in the dramatic increase recorded in the election- related incidents. Lack of visibility in the SR, particularly in Hilmand is another factor contributing to the low numbers recorded in the region. Kunduz remained volatile in the NER, followed by Badakhshan mainly due to increased demonstrations. In the NR violence, mainly connected to the elections, was spread in most of the provinces. In the WR, Farah was the center of focus with increased IED incidents and Kandahar in the CR with a focus of AGE activity in Kandahar City. Uruzgan Province remained susceptible to AGE activity. The decrease in the SER was visible in the whole regions except for Paktika as a result of increasing attacks against the newly deployed surge troops. Kunar Province was the center of AGE activity with over 80% of all the incidents in the region. In the CR, Logar and Wardak remained the most active districts and together accounted for 70% of all the incidents.
